HOPE THROUGH MARYWhat a finale! I hope you have enjoyed this enlightening mini-series on the stories of these five amazing women found in the genealogy of Jesus.
Mary displayed unparalleled faith in a God who asked her to undertake a most heavy task. However, in prophetic fashion she knew that God's commands were not burdensome as we learned in 1 John 5:3-4. Mary trusted in God's promises...promises that were given hundreds of years before her time. We also can have this faith, we need only immerse ourselves in His promises. In Christ we have victory.
THE CHALLENGE:
Today we light the 3rd candle of Advent, the candle of joy. As you light your candles this week, talk about the promises of God for which we anxiously await. Talk about how holding on to His promises can give us joy in our day to day lives.
In Him,
Aaron
